Question

Read “A Book,” by Emily Dickinson.

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Which words best indicate that the speaker believes that books offer traveling adventures?
page, poetry, and soul
frigate, traverse, and toll
prancing, poorest, and frugal
oppress, bears, and human

Answer 1

frigate, traverse, and toll

"Frigate" (a ship), "traverse" (to cross/travel), and "toll" (a charge for passage) together suggest travel and voyages.
